I like model trains, do you like model trains?

Yeessssss!!!! What was their engine called the Superchief or something? Every kid had one.

It was Santa Fe Matt. It was their passenger service.

I remember those, Matt. I had a blue and gold Santa Fe one.

 

[lesofprimus]

I had the same one he posted, as well as an original black coal engine that made smoke...

 

[Matt308]

Aaaahhh the memories. And it was the Santa Fe. Wouldn't have remembered that.

I was into the British 00 for a while now more into N gauge.

Would love to do a full sized Lancaster base serviced by a railway in 1.72 scale * day dreams *

 

[lesofprimus]

U know, thats one thing Ive never seen before is a WW2 airfield with raill support.... That sounds delicious...

Yeah, that would be cool. Although 1/72 scale would make for a big layout. I do remember Tyco had a military train set out years ago. But that was carrying tanks and guns and such. The one below is a big 'O' guage set I found on the web, sold out, dammit!

Now that I think about it, the Tyco set may have been a GI Joe set.

This huge 45 piece military train set is over 4 feet long. It features a powerful MP15 Diesel, Operating Radarcar,Operating Searchlight car, Even Battlesounds!
The 27th Iron Rail Battalion is ready for action wherever they are needed. This US ARMY set is loaded with removable pieces for hours of "play Army" fun.
The 7 unit train is pulled by the powerful K-Line MP15 Diesel which features operating diesel horn, 3 position transformer controlled reversing unit, operating couplers, metal chassis and trucks. Three flatcars carry removable metal military transport truck, jeep, and helicopter.
The train also includes an operating radar car and an operating searchlight car. Both the radar dish and searchlight rotate as the train travels down the track. Protecting the rear of the train is a work caboose outfitted with an anti aircraft gun. For added realism you can push a button to hear battle sounds.
The set also includes 18 soldiers, a large 31" x 61" oval; of supersnap track AC transformer and horn control. Everything comes in the box to get started with Basic Military Training!

It would have been cool to own though.
